Listening to Beethoven’s own wonderful piano trio arrangement of his famous Septet, one gets a real sense of what it must have been like to desperately want to play something at
home you had only heard played by many artists publicly. This tradition of changing the forces to accommodate everyday folk was a prime method for earning a living for composers
of note before concert stages became universally popular. The piano trio was a seminal ensemble for sharing in the home and became a vital source of inspiration for composers
across the globe, including our own Ross Edwards and the great Russian Anton Arensky. S&F welcomes back the vivacious virtuoso Susie Park and popular cellist Julian Smiles
who join Kathy in a program that encompasses music from far-flung Australia, Russia and of course Vienna by way of Bonn.
